L142-T

Guys,
I know this sounds crazy but had it on my mind. Soo the question is:
Can one turbo charge a mutt? :roll:
I ask this out of curiosity and with no real intention at all... :mrgreen:

Interesting idea. I do not see any reason why it would not work. The biggest problem would be to find the right size turbo. You would not want to much boost because the head gasket is not designed for that much effective compression. You would need to find a compatible carburetor also. I would design around 7 pounds of boost and no more.

Ken,
That is an amazing picture, though i'm curious what is that? seems like a jett :roll:

Rick,
What sort of carb are we talking about here?
Turbo, well how about one of a Mitsubishi Shogun 1990...
